Nice pool, beach and snorkeling... my kids are fascinated with manatees and we did that encounter. It was great but the pictures are very expensive.

I would recommend going.

So, is it worth it? I'm sure you need to take the actual ones along JIC.

Inhave the RCL tag holders on Cruise Critic store, very handy.

you can get them on Amazon too.. I always have them ready to attach but don't do so until our flight arrives.

Showing that they do!

So, we've used Luggage Valet before but never with Southwest.

My question is... If we paid for Priority Boarding, will our boarding passes issued with Luggage Valet reflect this? ... or do we address this once checked in at the airport?

yes, they are!

Does anyone know if the $40 Rum and Coke package can be purchased on the ship for the same price? I read it takes 48hours to deliver. Has anyone pre bought this and was it in your room when you got there?

It is in your room waiting when you board... It is quite a pricy bottle of rum too, but the convenience would be great!

good thing you did not have to go to the medical center.... I would have wrote a letter for sure about price gouging had I not had trip insurance that covered medical. $275 for a round of Amoxil is outrageous. That was just the med's... not the visit. I was desperate though.

I had been battling re-occuring strep and had delayed my laser tonsil ablation until after our cruise.

You can get a new one, they will disable the chip in the old one.

No they won't.... not possible to do

On my Anthem cruise it stated the package was 20% at $48 - today it is showing $48 but without showing that's 20% off???? I had read that the normal price once you board is $60 ish. But every ship seems to be different

The 20% off banner disappeared on my cruise planner but the price was still the same. Today, the banner is back on there.

Thats a great "chart" ... thanks

We got there at 10:00 and were parked, checked-in, and on-board by 11:00... very easy port to maneuver. Parking is like at Wal-Mart. Very close.

So I wonder where Deck 14 midship would muster??

Mine was $396. and some change for our 7 day Harmony cruise... said it was 20% off. I think it was $48 a day plus the gratuity.

thanks for the replies... that makes me feel confident now that it will work. I will let you guys know once I hear a reply.

I don't mind to buy one.. but for us, its just the convienience of not having to lug all the extra stuff.... it is nice to have it waiting on you.

Actually, I was having trouble finding their contact info, but when I tried to create a reservation, I found a contact e-mail address... so I've asked them.

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience of maybe the smallest sizes of tuxedos that are available to rent.... e.g., my 12 year old son.

I wear suits everyday... I despise taking a suit on a cruise... plus, for my son and myself it would probably mean a whole extra suitcase by the time you take suits, shirts, shoes, etc.

I usually rent a tux out of but this would be the first for my son.

OK-- will do that! Thanks!

Trying to book a beach bungalow... it plainly says the cost is per bungalow but when I select the guests (4 of us)... it is charging me $1000.... $250/pp.

Is this a glitch or something? Surely it isn't $250/pp....

We have stayed in one of these rooms before... on Allure. It should be very similar. The room is actually a little larger.... the front wall slants with the ship so it gives more room towards the floor. Thus, the curtains slide on rods that are attached below and above the window so that the drapes to not hang out into the floor.

If there were a drawback to this room, I;d say it would be that the curtains are asked to be shut after dark so the light doesn't interfere with the bridge... and then we could always hear/feel the bow thrusters as we came in and out of port... not a huge deal until you were trying to sleep in a bit and would get awaken. It was quite a vibration at times. We were on deck 8.

Some people would complain that it is a very long walk to the elevators... it is but it didn't bother me until you were waiting at the elevator and realized you left something behind... then it is quite a walk.

I was looking forward to using them on our Harmony cruise this summer. However, the one drawback I see is having to remove them to give the bartenders. I can see some confusion if he/she is serving 3-4 guests at a time. Looks like to me they would have a mobile reader to process the transaction at the seat, poolside, etc. Kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me of having a Wow Band and having to remove it. Might as well use the card.

I'd question that time, too...... they are all usually around 3 hours.

Thanks for the heads up! Our family is going on Harmony next summer after being on Allure. Good things to know!

Did you do the Rubicon (escape room)? My kids are anxious for it as well as the Abyss and waterslides.

FLL is such an easy airport to get to from Port Everglades... a matter of minutes. It is so close in fact Im surprised they've never considered a light rail/metro/monorail type thing connecting the 2 terminals.

Is there a beach (possibly with snorkeling too) that someone could recommend that is in close proximity to the cruise port?
